Hoddy Posted October 12, 2019 Share Posted October 12, 2019 I have had enough of trying to make sense of your on line spats which often make no sense in forum terms and appear to be a continuation of something that has been written in private messages or via email.I imagine that everyone else is as bored by this as I am. If it continues I shall ban you both. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NickP Posted October 12, 2019 Share Posted October 12, 2019 I'm afraid that I'm fed up with Mr/Mrs Richards51 being deliberately rude on lots of postings, I thought that wasn't allowed on this forum. By the way, Hoddy do you or anybody else read reports by members of this forum As I find it difficult to believe that nobody has complained about this rudeness.

Gardengirl Posted October 12, 2019 Share Posted October 12, 2019 Hoddy, I’m another who would be happy to see those spats stop; if I see a certain name against a thread I no longer click on them. It’s very off-putting. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hoddy Posted October 12, 2019 Author Share Posted October 12, 2019 You are right NickP Richards51 is frequently rude. I think it’s also undeniable that Wollybanana deliberately sets out to irritate him.Reports to the forum are read by me - no-one else. See my recent appeal for someone else to help moderate the forum. Unfortunately some people report an offensive posting and expect an instant reply and, being impatient at the lack of response, start posting on a thread themselves.The forum software does not allow the unpicking of a thread. If I delete something all the messages after it will go too thus deleting what might be useful replies to the original point.There real problem with only having one moderator. It is unreasonable to expect 24 hour monitoring from just one person. It would be wonderful to have someone with whom it is possible to discuss the merits of various posts privately before coming to a ‘forum’ decision. As it is I have to make them all on my own and sometimes take a long time to respond at all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

woolybanana Posted October 12, 2019 Share Posted October 12, 2019 Well, just to stop any chance of further discourse with Shhh You Know Who, I have just volunteered to be a moderator.

BritinBretagne Posted October 12, 2019 Share Posted October 12, 2019 I don’t spend a lot of time on this forum but from what I’ve seen the problem isn’t one sided it’s definitely six of one and half a dozen of the other. I haven’t got a clue what started the problem but I know for a fact that one of them has posted in support of my comments more than once and the other, when I was a new member, was far from welcoming.

Gardian Posted October 12, 2019 Share Posted October 12, 2019 No.The obnoxious individual on here is Richard51 and just about everybody knows that. WB (or Wolly as Hoddy prefers to call him) has of course been guilty of more than a bit of winding up over time, but there you go. It was deserved.I just love this. The idea of WB becoming a Mod and banning R51 for ever as soon as he opens his mouth just amuses me greatly.Who decides? Can we all vote? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
woolybanana Posted October 12, 2019 Share Posted October 12, 2019 Hoody and only Hoody decides, but tonite she is out doing the tango with the rugby club or maybe eating a quiet pizza devant the telly watching Spiral ( Engrainages). Or washing her drawers!One of the conditions I posed was not to be involved with R51. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hoddy Posted October 13, 2019 Author Share Posted October 13, 2019 Some clarification is needed I think.I do not have the power or the technical ability to create a new moderator.Moderators have a private forum where they can discuss things.They do not have the ability to see pms or emails between forum members.They can delete posts and ban members.Wooly please accept my apologies for referring to you as Wolly. It was a typing error. As it happens I don't like being referred to as Hoody. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PaulT Posted October 13, 2019 Share Posted October 13, 2019 As someone who left the forum for a while on returning I found Richard51s comments to be rude and offensive at times.Another post that I made about comments between two members concerned WB and Norman and if I remember correctly, it was Mint who put me right on the relationship between the two. So WBs posts could be read as being in a light-hearted way.If I read the situation correctly, Richard51 posts irritates WB and he responds. But comments on this thread seem to indicate Richard51 does the same thing to other members and I will add my name to it. WB has been on the forum for a long time and the problem seems to have only started with Richard51 joining.Hoddy sorry you are moderating on your own. Someone who I think would be good in the posts is Mint. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Patf Posted October 13, 2019 Share Posted October 13, 2019 I've found some of R51's posts deliberately provocative and too personal at times. Especially on the Palestine/Israeli conflict. Which imo can't be discussed on a forum like this.I think Wooly likes a good argument, but is never nasty.As for who else could be a Mod, I don't envy your job, HoddyWhat happened to Russet?

mint Posted October 13, 2019 Share Posted October 13, 2019 I am humbled and touched by those who think I could be a good moderator. Yikes, nobody has ever, to my knowledge, nominated me for anything!Alas, I often struggle with even day-to-day stuff and often feel somehow fragile and uncertain. NOT a good candidate as I'd question my own shadow, nevermind my judgment.So thank you for your confidence and, should my health improve, I will certainly consider sharing Hoddy's burden. In fact, I think we could share a good working relationship as I often find myself agreeing with her posts.As to Richard he did direct many, many nasty posts my way over many months and I felt stalked and picked on and thoroughly fed up with the incessant niggling and needling. But, hey, I'm not playing any victim card and I am a big girl now so I could give as good as I get (when I could be bothered)! But I also noticed his doing the exact same thing to one or two others so perhaps I wasn't his sole or even most targeted person on the forum.Don't know why he is keeping quiet at the moment. Are we to expect a fussilade of insults sooner than we expect? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Patf Posted October 13, 2019 Share Posted October 13, 2019 I wish you well with your health problems, Mint. I thought you had been more quiet recently, but thought you were being your usual positive self.Many of us find our strength in music. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
